"You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield, the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. It absolutely shattered my windshield. Any reservations about calling in such a story were put to rest when the dispatcher calmly responded, OK. I do believe you, honestly, then laughed. The driver relayed that another person also saw the cat drop, remarking: He's like, That is the craziest thing I've ever seen.' I'm like, Really?'"
"After getting the driver's location, the dispatcher said she would send the Highway Patrol to do a report. Another question, the dispatcher asked. Is the cat still alive? The caller said it wasn't, but noted that the cat was on the side of the road and not in her car. Ok, I have to ask just to make sure, the dispatcher said."
A motorist in western North Carolina escaped injury when the carcass of a cat crashed into the passenger side of her front windshield while driving on US Route 74 near Bryson City, close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The driver reported on a recorded 911 call that a bald eagle dropped the cat, saying the impact shattered her windshield. Another witness reportedly saw the cat fall. The dispatcher arranged for the Highway Patrol to respond and asked whether the cat was alive; the caller said it was not and that the carcass was on the roadside, not inside the vehicle. It is unclear whether the eagle released the cat intentionally or dropped it accidentally.
